I thought the percent base saturation always equals 100%. Is it possible to have a PBS AT 167%?

Kurty, 167% means your soil has 67% basic elements that your soil cant hold onto using a extraction test.. Theres a good article on it in the wester labs(parma Idaho) tutorial. My test says 381% cause I've got high everything.

Cojoe thanks for the article. I read it and didn't understand any of it. I guess I need to read it X amount of times over to understand what that means in relation to my soil. all my numbers are very good except Calcium it's the one that is 122 total. I can only take this as my Calcium is too high.
